If you come back the next day, the newly opened Martini Bar will host their first annual Irish Crimes Higgins Day Block Party, featuring David Higgins as the event MC. Open to partygoers age 21 and older, the party will celebrate Irish culture with specials on green beer, Higgins bombs, Irish dishes and a live performance by traditional Irish rock band Molly Takedown.
